Delete There is no evidence of any significant coverage of this neologism. There are blogs, definition listings, etc, sources that briefly use the term in the course of referring to other subjects, but very little material about the concept. The references in the article are all to related organisations that exist to promote "intellectual property rights", and certainly not independent coverage (only one of these is not a blog post).

- Leaning to delete or redirect. Just another case of free rider problem. East of Borschov 11:08, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete This is a real thing, but needs to be discussed as part of larger issues, or at least under a different title. This one can not be neutral since we humans dislike parasites so much. Kitfoxxe (talk) 22:08, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - while the issue is notable, the term 'Parasitic technology' appears to be a neologism, used nearly exclusively by the person who coined it, and a couple of blogs who commented on his article. HupHollandHup (talk) 01:26, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
